Johnny Weir, Husband Victor Voronov Split Up

Controversial Olympic figure skater Johnny Weir announced on Twitter yesterday that he and husband Victor Voronov are calling it quits after two years of marriage:

Access Hollywood, which is airing an exclusive interview with Weir about the divorce tonight, reports:

"It is with great sadness that I announce that my husband and I are no longer together," the ice skater and TV personality said in a statement to Access. The 29-year-old said their future together does not look promising.

"I have been sad for a long time," he continued in the statement to Access. "And unfortunately don't foresee a way to resolve our current marital issues." The couple, who got married on New Year's Eve in 2011, does not have a prenup.

The news comes two weeks after the couple appeared in court together and successfully asked a judge to dismiss a domestic biting charge Voronov had previously filed against Weir. At the time, the couple appeared to have worked out their differences.

No matter how necessary a divorce may be (and they often are), they're never fun. I'm sorry for the pain that Weir and Voronov are going through.
